  • Thank you for all your helpful advice. I will try and gradually build up the miles to see if this helps!
  • I only use it because it links with mfp so is convenient that I don't have to transfer the information over. Plus I can have "friends" on it. I may have to try a couple of apps at the same time to see how accurate it is. Either that or go on my bike with my bike computer to see how far it actually is.
  • Would a new innersole help? The shoe itself feels fine, it is the cushioned bit on the arch of the innersole which rubs?!
  • Can I ask a silly question? Using one of the calculators my TDEE is 2064 - 20% is 1651. I currently do 1-3 hours of exercise a week. So do I eat to that calorie goal every day, even if I don't exercise on that day? Also, what happens when I can't exercise as much in a given week? v confused?!

  • That's great - thanks for that!
  • I suggest running & cycling. I have been running three times per week and cycling to work and back twice a week, my thighs especially have thinned down quite a lot.
  • Hi Don't worry about that - I'm in England as well and I know that there are users from England on here. It is a wonderful resource!

  • I'm glad someone has mentioned about the barefoot running trainers - I have been doing a bit of research on them. Are they any better for running than normal trainers? I know the theory, but would like to know if they are any better in practice. Thanks
  • I am 5' 6.5" (5'7" on a good day) and I am now at 130lbs (ish) which is what I used to weigh when I was 18. I still have baggy bits that I would like to get rid of, but weight wise I think this is where I want to be.
  • I drink quite a lot of decaff coffee, white with no sugar. I don't count it at all and I've reached my goal weight. I think that if I had sugar then I would probably have to count that.
  • I'm from Worcester! Good to see there are loads from the UK on here!
  • I have imapmyfitness on my iphone so I track my time / distance & speed with that and then put it into mfp. Mine worked out at something like 296 cals - you may run a little bit faster than me!
  • Just done my first run of week 4 - I tend to to my first run of the week on a tredmill so I know where I am at, but i have been finding that the timings are a bit off on the NHS C25K but that is ok. Well done all - just hope that I can keep going and run for the whole 30 mins at the end!
  • Listen to your body - if you are feeling tired, perhaps just have a week off the exercise and give yourself time to recover.
  • I don't count my drinks of coffee at all!
